Time to taste

The choice of edible crops in Raymond Blanc garden this month is incredible. Each one was selected for flavour and approved by the man himself.
Chefs have the use of 60 different types of vegetables, from roots to brassicas, legumes to perennials, in 250 different varieties. There are 90 annual and perennial herbs, daily supplies of fresh microleaves and no less than 40 unusual crops from Asia and around the world. There are also taste trials every year for new organic varieties on the market. It is for this range of produce that guests flock from home and abroad.

Here is a delicious finger - food perfect to be served on warm summer evenings. The melon - peach combination is particularly tasty and the Visual Food presentation will be pleasant to the eyes. The ripped fruit is fresh and refreshing, we take advantage of this season to serve it as often as possible.

Where the wild things are

Once, on a penniless cycling trip around the Mediterranean, I spotted a gaggle of black - clad women in dark headscarves and thick woollen stockings, bent double at the side of the road. They were probing the undergrowth with hefty sticks and so absorbed that I assumed they were hunting for a lost wedding ring or a small child. Out of sheer curiosity, and to avoid swerving around them and into the middle of the road, I stopped. When they realised I was there, they looked up, laughing, and held out fists of fine green and purple shoots.
